A HIcH MUSICAL FEAsT.-Decidedly the
6nest performance, so far as artistic merit
is concerned, ever given i'll Burwell Hail
was the concert of the Mendelssohh yum
tette Club last Monday evening. A lairlS
LARGE audience, and certainly cultured
and appreciative one, was present. !ne
program was a very select one ana aohiira-
bly rendered throughout. Where each per
former was an artist and all did so well
nerbaps we should not particularize ou'
fine clarionet solo of Mr.. Thomas Ryan was
exceedingly we'll done as was the Vloloh-

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS The railroad
authorities are making much needed I'M
provement in moving the passenger depot
buildine at this place back and making the
platform wider. This should have beeh
done when the building was first put there
1 The platform has never been wide enough
and the crowds that frequent the trains
made it almost dangerous for persons pass
ing to and from the reception room. NOW
LET MS have better accommodations Ill the
WAY of seats, &c. Think of waiting
room at a railroad station of the importance
of Henderson with no article Of furniture
save stove and a single bench long
: enough for half a dozen persons to SIT on
: Why we have been made to put mp will
such an imposition as this we are rot aplt
: to say. Other stations along the road Of
r less importance are provided with bettel
t accommodations Why not Henderson
